Organisations from across the clothing value chain that operate in Australia or internationally are invited to formally sign on as Seamless supporters and get access to a range of exclusive benefits.

Find out about everything you need to know about being a Seamless supporter – from information about the scheme, to supporter benefits, fees and how to join.

About Seamless

Seamless is Australia’s national clothing stewardship scheme, which aims to make Australian clothing truly circular by 2030, and significantly reduce the 200,000 tonnes of clothing that currently goes to Australian landfill each year.

It recognises that transitioning to a circular clothing economy is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration across the entire clothing industry.

How Seamless works

Seamless takes a stewardship approach, which recognises that the clothing brands and retailers who place clothes on the market are responsible for the entire life of that garment, from design through to reuse, reprocessing and end of life.

Seamless is funded by a per garment contribution paid by clothing brands and retailers who are members of the scheme.

Funds are invested across four key priority areas: circular design, circular business models, closing the loop and citizen behaviour change.

Eligible organisations

Any organisation or individual that operates in Australia or internationally or has an active interest in the sustainability of the clothing industry in Australia, is eligible to become a Seamless supporter. You could be an industry expert or association, an academic institution, a government agency, manufacturer, technology supplier or reuse or recycling operator.

How you benefit as a supporter

As a Seamless supporter, you:

  • Help shape industry standards, policies and initiatives related to sustainability, and position your organisation as an industry leader.
  • Use the Seamless logo to distinguish your organisation as a responsible leader committed to best practice.
  • Collaborate and partner on pilot programs which deliver on Seamless strategic priorities.
  • Gain the opportunity to participate in invitation-only roundtables, committees and working groups to contribute to our advocacy, meet directly with government stakeholders and access insights critical for your business.

  • Gain access to targeted funding that delivers on Seamless strategic priorities which may include initiatives to reduce emissions, improve environmental and social performance and support recycling infrastructure.
Seamless supporter membership fees
